The FA have charged Manchester City and Wigan for failing to control players during their FA Cup tie.

The two sets of players clashed after referee Anthony Taylor brandished a red card for Fabian Delph's over the top tackle on Max Power.

English football's governing body have also asked both City and the Latics for statements on a pitch invasion after the final whistle before deciding on a charge.

During the jubilant scenes after Wigan had masterminded a shock 1-0 victory over City, Sergio Aguero got into an altercation with a home fan.

City staff then desperately held Aguero back as he went for the man again.

There were reports Aguero claims to have been spat at.

"Stay in his position, that's all [I said to the Wigan manager]. "If you want to ask me about football, do so. Nothing happened in the tunnel, nothing happened with my colleague. It was just stay in your position, that's all, and that's finished."
